How to switch between windows
I'm looking to quickly switch between to windows of an application in Unity. I looked at Unable to switch between different windows of the same application but I didn't get any answer.
The only option I've got is to long-click on the icon on the dash and click on the window when they're all shown. That's definitely too long ! I'm sure there is a shortcut, like an Alt+Tab but I don't find it.
So, how can I quickly switch between windows of an application ?
Solution 1:
In "System Settings.." --> "Keyboard" go to 'Shortcuts' tab. At the left choose "Navigation". Scroll down to "Switch windows of an app directly", and assign the keyboard shortcut you'd like (I'm using Alt+'). Hope that works for you.
Solution 2:
At least in 13.04, you should be able to do this with alt+§ (the key above tab, at least on Swiss keyboards).
Solution 3:
I discovered two ways of doing so.
- Use alt+tab until the desired app gets marked. Then wait a little while until the seperate windows of the application show up.
- When you have one window of the application active, click on the applications icon on the quick launch bar. You should now see all of the applications windows.
- To switch to the previously selected application hold alt und press shift+tab
Another suggestion is switching between workspaces.
Just put a window of your application on several workspaces. You can switch between these workspaces really fast using alt+ctrl+arrow-key(up, down, left, right).
